The professional staging: a dramaturgical analysis of the presentation of experts in the CAJU/TJPR environment
Keywords:
forensic accounting, accounting, judicial expert, impression managementAbstract
This study aims to investigate how registered experts in the CAJU-TJPR manage their professional image to demonstrate their expertise in forensic areas. The research analyzes the data provided by the experts in CAJU/TJPR. The approach to the problem is qualitative, and the data collection procedures involve a survey with documentary and comparative analysis. The sample comprised 91 experts, obtained through a stratified sampling method. The comparative analysis was based on the use of the "dramaturgical scenario", developed by Goffman (1959). There is no objective, measurable criterion for proving expertise. Regarding the stage, actors, and audience, the results were identical: 32% of the experts presented themselves in an expressive way, making an impression, while 68% did not. The analysis relied on general data to identify key elements, such as front, dramatic realization, idealization, expressive control, presentation, mystification, reality, and artifice. Thus, the impression management shown in the data obtained from the CAJU/TJPR was unsatisfactory, as each expert presents himself in the way he considers appropriate, without focusing on the areas in which he specializes. Few experts develop a scenario that makes it possible to make an impression, according to the various forms presented by Goffman (1959).
